I can do you one better.

But this I'd consider a step-down, despite me grabbing this thing first.

Tbh this is barely the tip of the fucking iceberg.

Reminder of that time the US military wanted a cheap air launched anti tank missile so they made a nearly fucking mach 5 steel rod with a rocket engine strapped to it. Imagine you’re just vibing in your tank then all of a sudden a steel rod cleaves through your tank and then liquifies you at 4.5x the speed of sound.

Or y'know, the obligatory Project Star Wars. Or the British idea of 10-kiloton Nuclear Landmines.

Or Project Orion.

The Cold War was WACK.

Kiu Ghesik and East Wolven.

Done. I think the image came out quite nice too.

Players committing suicide by mod.

Yeah I know this isn't something that happens every single day or whatever but it's honestly a bit pathetic when it does happen tbh.

Like, as in going out of their way to get themselves DEAT'd by the mods when they could just, you know, log out and not log back in again? That term makes me think of going out of your way to deliberately make rulebreaking posts in order to end up getting deleted, but some of the examples I have seen look like mates making posts that are rather flagrantly rulebreaking to the point where it seems like they may as well be committing suicide by mod, but with no intentions to get deleted and the main reasoning behind making such posts is because they're penises.

I totally saw a thread in moderation where someone was trying to do that last night. It's since been cleaned up.

Looked like they created a whole new account to do it with, too

That is the same background as google, Roblox even, basically any basic generic site, BESIDES discord.

Since you suggested it, what is YOUR opinion on it.

Yeah, and Googles default is atrocious as well, and there are plenty of generic sites that don't blind you.

Now I can't stand white backgrounds because of my own eyesight, but I still don't get how people who can see well tolerate it.

I mean in regards to how sensitive your sight is, I feel the context was fairly blatant.

Also like...the default is light themed and 99% of people aren't going to change from the default theme on any piece of software or website.

(And yeah I'm nearsighted as fuck like yeah I can see my laptop screen fine but I'm looking at my TV right now and it's pretty blurry. Not so blurry I can't [vaguely] tell what's going on but blurry enough that I can't make out details)

I just wear glasses when watching TV ngl. My eyesight quality seems to be the same as yours tho.

I can't see without my glasses, everything is a blur even fairly close.

Also I just gotta add that this site's dark theme is genuinely unreadable for me. I'm not exaggerating or anything like that either, the color they use for the background and then the color they use for the text on it results in the text colors just blending together for me and ugh.

Awful.

I literally never wear my glasses unless I'm going out tbh.

The text is white and neon green though...

by **Valentine Z** » Mon Jun 13, 2022 6:19 pm

It used to be worse, too. On the NS stats department, I have said before that before I made that feedback, it used to be dark text on dark theme, the former being carried over from light theme.

Yeah, dark green on black doesn't exactly mix that well, among a few other things. I wouldn't call that neon green, it's not like those old computer terminals where it's pure green. I'm also told that out of all the dark themes across sites and apps, NS' one was quite awful.

(Also wow I can't believe we are reaching 500 pages...)

by **Gandoor** » Mon Jun 13, 2022 6:22 pm

500 pages of circlejerk.

(I'm not using 'circlejerk' in the negative sense here, I'm comparing this thread to subreddits where they exist to basically make fun of the wider fandom of something)
